Recruitment of Underage Personnel at Military Checkpoints: Rally, Child Soldiers, and Global Concerns
Psychological and Social Impact on Children
Exposure to militarized environments can have long-term effects on minors, including:
- Desensitization to violence
- Increased anxiety and trauma
- Identity formation tied to conflict
- Reduced access to education and normal development
